Implementation and Timetable
Land reclamation work at the Vollmer Pit will begin during
the third year of operations as shown on the mining plan. Dur-
ing the first year, work will be focused on the initiation of
mining operations and no reclamation work is foreseen. In
subsequent years, land reclamation will keen pace with mining
and each phase will be reclaimed after it is mined. Final
reclamation of the site is expected to be completed as of
the spring of 2003.
Implementation of the reclamation plan is discussed below
in paragraphs keyed to the corresponding sections of Rule 6
of the Mined Land Reclamation Board's Rules and Regulations
of 1978.

areas of the pit, no slopes will be left steeper than
